goochiemama Posted November 26, 2023 #271 Posted November 26, 2023 Hi, what kind of back putty was used for the decking of HMS Victory by Heinz746.

I have always left a small gap, and this sealed with a black putty. This is supposed to represent the caulking. Although the timber has been coated previously, some residue remained on the surface are. That was not planned, but gives the whole a very nice old look.
goochiemama Posted January 8, 2024 #273 Posted January 8, 2024 Hi again from Australia. Can you tell me what size drips you used on the hull, I noticed top part of the hull strips is slightly wider. Where can I can I purchase the walnut strips?

I can't tell you where you can get the walnut strips. Unfortunately, my dealer in Germany has not survived Corona. I don't mean that in the literal sense, of course... The dimensions of the slats are different. I have slats that are 1, 1.5 or 2 mm thick. The width is usually 7 mm. But even that cannot be generalized. The barkwoods are completely custom-made. Piece by piece according to a pattern that I drew on the hull. This is explained in my forum. The wood for this was 2 mm thick and 2 cm wide. HMS Victory by Heinz746
Heinz6672 Posted Saturday at 02:03 PM Author #275 Posted Saturday at 02:03 PM Hello forum! It's been quite a while since I've been active on this forum. And I must admit that I've hardly worked on my Victory during that time. In fact, I was very depressed because I had a lot more problems with the rigging than I had imagined. I just couldn't get the shrouds tight enough, so they kept warping with the webbing lines. The result was terrible, at least in my eyes. I tried several times but was never satisfied. After spending some time working on other things, I wanted to give it another try. It's still not perfect, but I'm finally satisfied! I don't have many new photos to show you, but the latest ones are really up to date. Greetings and best wishes to all model builders!!!
